When TIPA was born in 1991 founder magazines decided they wanted to start a large non profit association: not a lobby of few selected members, nor a marketing tool. So they invited all the European magazines eligible for membership to join. Instantly, TIPA became the largest family of independent European photo & imaging magazines made by the most expert editors. Today, TIPA is 31 magazines strong and represents a readership of approximately 8 million amateurs, professionals and people in the trade spread throughout 12 European countries.

FotoNation, a world-leading embedded imaging and connectivity solutions company for the digital photography industry, announced today that its innovative patent-pending “Face Tracker”™ technology will be available in the newly announced Pentax Optio A30 digital camera.

This latest Pentax camera incorporates FotoNation Face Tracker for the “Face Recognition Auto Focus and Auto Exposure” Function, which is automatically activated when using the camera in “Portrait Mode” to assure properly exposed portrait photos every time.
FotoNation Face Tracker detects the location of faces and adjusts focus and exposure accordingly for optimal results. The technology automatically focuses on faces regardless of where they appear in the photo frame. Exposure settings are instantly applied so that faces are never dark, even when taking photos in difficult backlighting.
Very important to read:The PENTAX Optio A30 with FotoNation Face Tracker will begin shipping in March.
PS:such technology can be found also at some Fuji cameras
If someone use those cameras from Fuji can share the experience with us on this blog.
